The best aerial technique won't land 21-year-old Thora James her dream role in Amour, a sexy new acrobatic show on the Vegas strip. Thora knows she's out of her element the second she meets Amour's leading performer. Confident, charming, and devilishly captivating, 26-year-old Nikolai Kotova lives up to his nickname as the "God of Russia". When Thora unknowingly walks into the crosshairs of Nikolai's after-show, her audition process begins way too soon.

As the eldest daughter of famous parents, Luna Hale is anything but normal. She escapes most days inside the fandoms she loves and the fics she writes, and she’s accepted that real life just sucks more than fiction. But there is someone who could rival every swoony man inside her imagination. And he only lives three floors below her. Too bad he’s incredibly off-limits.

Cravings and fantasies become her new routine, but while Loren Hale recovers from his alcohol addiction, Lily wonders if he'll realize what a monster she really is. After all, her sexual compulsions begin to rule her life the longer she stays faithful to him. Progress. That's what Lily's striving for. But by trying to become closer to her family—people who aren't aware of her addiction—she creates larger obstacles. When she spends time with her youngest sister, she learns more about her than she ever imagined and senses an unsettling connection between Daisy and Ryke Meadows.

Tourists flock to Mistpoint Harbor to snap photos of the famous lighthouse, browse the Museum of Curses & Curiosities, and claim their “I survived the Most Cursed Town in America!” pin. But for me, growing up in Mistpoint Harbor wasn’t a vacation. Not when locals have a deep-seated loathing for my family. They hate my dad. They hate my older brothers. And they hate me—Zoey Durand, the girl who shrunk in high school at the taunts and jeers. Like a sad wilted flower. If it wasn't for October Brambilla, life would've been a real living hell.

As Daisy struggles to make sense of this new world and her freedom, she pushes the limits and fearlessly rides the edge. Ryke knows there's deep hurt beneath every impulsive action. He must keep up with Daisy, and if he lets her go, her favorite motto—"live as if you'll die today"—may just come true.

Prepare for the worst, but hope for the best. That's what Lily Calloway and Loren Hale try to do when his father schedules an "important" meeting. The problem: after being swept into the public eye and battling their addictions, they're not sure what the worst is anymore.

No. More. Sex. Those are the three words Lily Calloway fears the most. But Loren Hale is determined to be with Lily without enabling her dangerous compulsions. With their new living situation—sleeping in the same bed, for real, together—Lily has new battles. Like not jumping Lo's bones every night. Not being consumed by sex and his body.

À vingt-cinq ans, Ryke Meadows n’a rien d’un prince charmant. Avec un héritage d’un milliard de dollars, un CV hors du commun et un tempérament de mâle alpha, il est aussi insupportable qu’attachant. Mais il n’est pas là pour se faire des amis. Ni des ennemis, d’ailleurs. Tout ce qu’il veut, c’est escalader en solo les parois les plus périlleuses du Yosemite. Jusqu'à cet appel de détresse lancé depuis Paris. Celui d’une fille qu’il n’a jamais eu le droit d’aimer.

Personne ne pourrait soupçonner le secret de Lily Calloway. Dans les bars, pendant que les autres sont sur la piste de danse, Lily, elle, est aux toilettes. Pour baiser. Des coups d’un soir torrides, dont elle a honte et qu’elle regrette aussitôt le lendemain. Il se trouve que la seule personne dans la confidence se livre à un penchant tout aussi inavouable : pour Loren Hale, sa meilleure amie est sa bouteille de bourbon. Lily n’est pas loin derrière. Cela fait trois ans qu’ils font semblant d’être en couple, cachant leurs addictions respectives à leurs familles.

When fake rumors spread like wildfire—like having three-ways with her boyfriend's rock climbing brother—Lily Calloway retreats to a dark place: her bedroom. Loren Hale is more determined to keep their sex life private, even from their friends, and he helps Lily in the only way he knows how. But how much love is too much? Their lives are filmed, watched, and criticized. And through it all, Lily and Loren have to face enemies they never thought they'd see, demons they don't know if they should bury, and setbacks they didn't think they'd meet. Not this soon.

À vingt-trois ans, Rose Calloway pensait avoir tout sous contrôle. Elle est diplômée de Princeton, lauréate de prestigieux concours académiques, créatrice de mode à succès et fille d’un milliardaire influent. Mais tout n’est pas aussi simple... Alors que sa ligne de vêtements est en péril après le scandale sexuel lié à sœur Lily, Rose échafaude une solution aussi originale qu’inattendue pour la remettre à flot. Pour compliquer les choses, elle accepte de se mettre en couple avec Connor Cobalt, son rival universitaire à l’allure quasi divine.

Plus. De. Sexe. Ce sont les trois mots que Lily Calloway craint le plus. Mais Loren Hale est déterminé à être avec elle sans encourager ses pulsions destructrices. Pour cela ils vont devoir dormir dans le même lit, être ensemble, pour de vrai, sans que Lily ne cède à la tentation. Comme celle de se jeter sur Lo tous les soirs, par exemple.

Alors que Loren Hale est parti en cure de désintox, Lily est terrifiée à l’idée qu’à son retour l’homme qu’elle aime se rendra compte du monstre qu’elle est vraiment. Car plus elle tente de lui rester fidèle, plus ses pulsions sexuelles semblent prendre le contrôle de son corps. Une vie plus saine, voilà ce à quoi Lily aspire. À mesure qu’elle s’efforce de se rapprocher de sa famille – qui ignore tout de son addiction –, de nouveaux obstacles surgissent.
